This article presents a new methodological approach for estimating the housing deficit and housing inadequacy, based on the integration of geocoded records from CadÚnico and local territorial surveys. The proposal advances a multidimensional, territorialized and representation of housing needs, enabling analyses at a detailed intra-urban scale. The methodology also stands out for its potential for co-production with local stakeholders and for organizing results into a cascading framework linked to housing policies. This approach allows for identifying how different types and combinations of housing needs are associated with policy responses that are more sensitive to the specific needs of each territory. As an empirical application, the article presents the results of a pilot study conducted in the municipality of Jacareí (SP), Brazil.
